There is one single hormone you need to focus on if you really want to lose fat once and for all. It is the hormone responsible for most fat loss failures. Why insulin? Because it is the gatekeeper of fat loss.
So no matter how much you exercise and sweat, if levels of insulin are not low you will not lose weight. Crazy, but true.
So here are some techniques for getting that insulin under control:
1. Say goodbye to sugar. Every single carbohydrate you eat will eventually get converted into sugar through the digestive process. Unfortunately, sugar has a very strong impact on insulin. So please stay away from fast digesting carbohydrates.
2. Get in shape. Paradoxically, you need lower levels of insulin to lose weight, and you need to lose weight so that insulin decreases. In other words, the more fat you lose, the less insulin your body will produce to function properly. This is one of the reasons why thin people can eat a lot and not gain weight as fast as heavy people.
3. Deal with the carb withdrawal. Sugar triggers the same areas in the brain that drugs trigger. This is a proven fact. So once you ditch all the sugar and fast digesting carbs, you may miss the rush. A good way to overcome this is with loose leaf teas and with distracting activities.
4. Do NOT buy into the whole grains approach. An outdated remnant of the U.S. food pyramid, whole grains are NOT optimal for losing fat in the shortest amount of time possible. And do not be swayed by the argument that they contain fiber.
5. Stay away from alcohol. Alcohol does so many harmful things in your body that I could write a whole book on the subject. In terms of weight loss, alcohol provides an obscene amount of calories while increasing levels of stomach fat. And this type of fat leads to more insulin.
Insulin is the ultimate fat loss gatekeeper. You can pretty much ignore everything else and focus on this one hormone and the weight will come off like a butter through knife. And if you follow the tips in this article, the weight loss will happen that much faster. - 29951
